U.S. President Barack Obama ordered intelligence agencies to review cyber attacks and foreign intervention into the 2016 election and deliver a report before he leaves office on Jan. 20, homeland security adviser Lisa Monaco said on Friday.
Monaco told reporters the results of the report would be shared with lawmakers and others.
"The president has directed the intelligence community to conduct a full review of what happened during the 2016 election process ... and to capture lessons learned from that and to report to a range of stakeholders, to include the Congress," Monaco said during an event hosted by the Christian Science Monitor.
Monaco said cyber attacks were not new but might have crossed a "new threshold" this year.
When she was working as a senior FBI official in 2008, she said, the agency alerted the presidential campaigns of then-Senator Obama and Republican Senator John McCain that China had infiltrated their respective systems.

On Wikipedia (which tends lefty) there’s a whole conspiracy story about the Russkies and Donald Trump under their article for “fake news.” They believe that the Russkies sent out puff piece news about Donald, fooling the voters.
If Trump kills the funding the assembled Left and their media cronies will scream “COVERUP!”.
Just let them waste their time. There is no “there” there.
Fake news. No way can fedgov do a report in less than 6 weeks.
I don’t think so. These leeches need to be cut off. They WON’T work for free. Ever.
Hope it doesn’t take too long. It would be a shame if he had to cancel the inauguration.
I’d say allow it to go on for another reason. It might turn up Democrat skulduggery, which Donald can use as a platform for stumping for election procedure reforms.
Surely he will be including an investigation into George Soros and his ilk.
F U B O!
Donald probably has the skill and finesse needed to parlay something like this into that.
“Podesta! We have your e-mails Podesta!”
Bahahahahaha!
They can if the conclusion is already determined and they are just writing the narrative that supports Obama stating that Trumps election is illegitimate.
Just admit it Barry, The majority don’t like you or Hillary.
Hopefully ValJar’s not preparing fake reports. He has a history...
“They believe that the Russkies sent out puff piece news about Donald, fooling the voters.”
Actually, I thought the alt-left meme was that Trump won because of outrageously ridiculous anti-Clinton fake news being lapped up by ignorant conservative rubes the wame way Rottweiler yearlings would scarf down spilled chunks of meat; “news” like: “The Clinton Foundation secretly owns Comet Pizza, which is a gay Somalian spy ring for Russia and also George Soros’ Secret World Headquarters”.
Obama wants to stay sooo bad
“Just let them waste their time. There is no there there.”
i agree. after all, none of the public statement by the obammunists say anything other than:
“The emails released on sites like WikiLeaks are consistent with methods and motivations of Russian-directed efforts, Clapper said before a security summit on Thursday. We wouldnt have made [the statement] unless we were very confident.”
“Confident” my ass! yeah, confident that people are too stupid to realize that statement means that obama has got jackshite in terms of actual evidence that the “russians did it”.
“consistent with methods and motivations of Russian-directed efforts” is a FAR cry from saying they have evidence, ANY evidence at all, that the Russians did it.
so, i say, yeah, go ahead and “investigate” and “report”, because even if there’s a “there” there, obama will be riding off into the sunset on a broken down wagon load of revealed intelligence methods and capabilities, once again, compromising national security solely for personal and political gain.
He wants the report prior to leaving office. They might as well issue the report now since it has already been written by Obama’s political Commissars in the intel agencies.
You nailed it. This is about de-legitimizing Trump’s election. The Russians and fake news won the election for Trump, not Obama’s failed policies or Hillary’s lousy campaign.
Russian hackers in Homeland Security, see what happens when they share porn sites.
